Wheels and gyroscopes

One day, a golden top rolled onto a black wheel. He stood on tiptoe and asked the wheel, "Hey, big black guy, what's your skill?"

"spin." The wheel answered simply, "beautiful little brother, I heard that your technology is also spinning?"

"Yes!" The top is on its high horse. "I spin as fast as flying, ranking first in the world." It can spin thousands of times a minute, probably more than the stars in the sky in an hour! What about you? "Gyro looked at the wheel contemptuously.

The wheel said, "Take me for example, I turn a few hundred times a minute, but not more than 20,000 times an hour."

"As the saying goes,' If you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing the goods'. It seems that I am much better than you! " The gyro looks supercilious.

The wheel glanced at the gyro and said, "Which one depends more or less on the essence."

"What do you mean?" Gyro asked incredulously.

The wheel said, "As far as speed is concerned, you are spinning as fast as flying, and I can't compete with you at all." But once I spin, I take a big step forward; Keep spinning and you will keep moving. And you, despite the high speed and frequency of rotation, are always spinning in the same place! "

Philosophy of life: to evaluate a person's ability depends on the actual work he has done, not just on some superficial phenomena. Some people do superficial work well, but some skills and abilities can't be well combined with practice.

The strong don't brag.

Rats, rabbits and cocks are the best. Let's brag together.

The mouse said, "I am the best." I once fought an elephant. I got into its nostrils and bit it until it cried out for mercy! " For me, elephants are a cinch. I have nothing to be afraid of! "

The white rabbit said to the mouse, "You little bean twenty times smaller than me, how dare you show off here!" " I have won three marathons and set a world record. Even the runner cheetah is afraid of my three points! "

The rooster said, "Shut up, all of you! As the saying goes,' the cock crows all over the world', the sun comes out according to my cry, and even humans listen to my command and get up and go to the ground according to my command, so Lao Tzu is the best in the world! "

They are bragging aimlessly, and there is a tiger lying in the grass next to them. It seems to be asleep or awake. After listening to them, they closed their eyes and smiled. After a while, the tiger suddenly yawned and said involuntarily, "I'm so sleepy!" " "

The mouse, the white rabbit and the rooster all ran. ...

Philosophy of life: boasting can only be regarded as a "paper tiger" at most. Once a powerful "real tiger" appears in front of him, he will only be defeated and flee. So, keep charging yourself. Opportunity and success always only favor those who are prepared and capable.

Eating fish and strengthening the brain

Great writer mark? Twain received a letter from a young man who was learning to write for the first time. The young people who write letters are very interested in such a question: "I heard that fish bones are rich in phosphorus, which has a nourishing effect on the brain." Do you have to eat a lot of fish if you want to be a world-famous writer? I wonder if this statement is in line with reality. "

"You also eat a lot of fish? What kind of fish did you eat? " He asked again.

Mark? Twain wrote back and told him, "In my opinion, you must eat a pair of whales."

Philosophy of life: Behind success must be hard work, and no one can get something for nothing. There is no shortcut to success.

Three stone knockers

A cathedral was under construction, and a psychologist came to the scene to visit the busy stonecutters.

"Excuse me, what are you doing?" The psychologist asked the first worker he met.

"What are you doing? Don't you see? I'm breaking these damn stones with this heavy hammer. Besides, these stones are so hard that my hands are numb. What is this job? " The worker replied grumpily.

The psychologist found the second worker again and asked him, "What are you doing?"

"I only do this job for my daily salary and food and clothing for my family. Otherwise, who is willing to do such rough work of knocking stones? " The second worker answered helplessly.

"Excuse me, what are you doing?" The psychologist asked the third worker.

The third worker's eyes sparkled with joy: "I am participating in the construction of this magnificent cathedral." When completed, it can accommodate many people. Although the work of knocking on stones is very hard, it is as sweet as drinking honey to think that many people will come here to accept God's love again in the future. "

Philosophy of life: negative people are full of complaints about life, and the result can only be stagnation; Positive people look at everything optimistically and positively, and often succeed in the end.

A picky crane

One day, a crane with a long neck and mouth walked aimlessly along the river bank. The river is crystal clear and the climate is refreshing and pleasant. Fish swim freely in the water. The crane watched them swim to the river and could have eaten them easily, but it didn't. It lives regularly and eats regularly. At this time, it has no appetite.

Soon, it had an appetite, so it went near the river and saw several winter cave fish swimming to the surface. Crane doesn't like this dish, so he has to wait for the first-class dish. He looked disdainful: "I am an egret. Do you want me to eat winter cave fish?" Treat me like a beggar! "

After Dongdong fish swam away, the fish swam over again. "Want me to eat fish. Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk about it. Besides, God won't agree! "

But in the end, when the crane was hungry but couldn't see a fish, it opened its mouth and wanted worse food. It saw a snail and felt happy and lucky, so it jumped on it and swallowed it.

Philosophy of life: people should learn to be content, and the so-called "contentment is always happy" is too picky and sometimes leads to nothing.

Zhao zhi xian mai Niu

In ancient times, cows were not produced in the mountainous areas near the South China Sea, and no one here had seen cows. There is a young man named Zhao Zhixian in the mountainous area.

One day, a man brought a cow as big as a mastiff. Horns as big as cocoons. Zhao Zhi asked in horror, "What is this?" Some people say, "This is called a cow." Zhao Zhixian has only seen a kind of wood carving called Mao Niu, which is more than eight inches high and more than a foot long, much smaller than an ox. So, he bought this cow, and everyone praised it for being so big, and it was a westward journey.

His reputation for buying cattle is getting bigger and bigger, and people keep visiting his house. He was recommended three cows, one weighing 300 kg, one weighing 600 kg and one weighing 1000 kg. He bought them all. He is very proud of himself and thinks his cows are the biggest in the world.

A few days later, a man named Liang Duzhou came to visit him. He took out a cow weighing 1000 pounds and boasted to Du Liang's boat, "Have you ever seen such a big cow?"

Du Liang's boat said, "It's not too big. There is a kind of cattle in Hepu area, which has a swollen neck and drooping chin and weighs three thousand kilograms. Why not buy it? "

Hearing this, Zhao quickly sent someone to Hepu to buy the plow. He was amazed at the sight of the cattle, and repeatedly said, "Is there such a big cow?" He danced with joy.

Another day, Sun Boguang came to visit Zhao Zhixian, and Zhao Zhixian took out a plow cow and asked him to judge whether it was the biggest cow.

Sun Boguang said to him, "This is not the biggest cow in the world. I heard that there is a kind of cow in the valleys of Minshan Mountain and Emei Mountain. It weighs seven thousand kilograms. Why not buy it? "

Zhao Zhixian listened to Sun Boguang with a grain of salt. Don't believe it. Some cows recommended by others, from 300 kg to 3000 kg, are indeed bigger than one. Believe it, a 3 kg plow is big enough. How can there be a cow more than twice its size? So he said, "Is there such a big cow? I want to verify it myself. "

So Zhao Zhixian bid farewell to his hometown and traveled long distances from the South China Sea to the valleys of Minshan Mountain and Emei Mountain. When I got there, I saw that the cow was really as big as Sun Boguang said.

Zhao Zhi said with deep feelings: "If no one told me, I would always think that this cow is the largest in the world, and I would be proud of it!"

Philosophy of life: "There is a mountain outside the mountain, and there is a sky outside." If a person is ignorant and blindly proud, he is bound to draw a wrong conclusion.

Laugh at parrots

According to legend, there was a big bird named Peng in ancient times. This kind of bird is extremely huge in appearance, with its back like the towering Mount Tai and its wings spreading like dark clouds. Usually, it folds its wings and perches on the northern mountain. We must wait until the whirlwind starts in June, when the Peng Cheng wind spreads its wings and sails straight for Wan Li. Then, with the blue sky on his back, he flew south and finally landed in the South China Sea.

There is a parrot jumping in the brambles. He looked up and saw Peng sweeping the sky, so he chattered to his companion, "Look at this heavy guy, he can't fly without strong wind." How ridiculous! Although I can't jump or fly a few feet, I can jump and fly at will. How comfortable I am to get in and out of the thorns in Ma Peng, but so what? Haha, look where it flew! "

Its companion said seriously: "Although it can fly without strong wind, it will never reach Peng's height."

Philosophy of life: Everyone has his own goals and future development direction. It is wrong not to judge others by what you think is right.

Old man in beginning of autumn

During the Warring States Period, there was a mountain in the north of Wei State, named Liqiu Mountain. There is a strange ghost on the mountain. His name is Qiu Li Ghost. The biggest feature of this Li Qiu ghost is that he likes to play tricks on people by pretending to be someone else's son, nephew, brother or other people.

There is an old man named Li Qiu in the city. One day, Lao Qiu went to a hotel in the market to drink. He was very happy when he saw his old friend. He drank a lot of wine unconsciously and went home as drunk as a fiddler. Li Qiu's ghost saw it and turned himself into his son to help him go home.

This Li Qiu ghost is very naughty. He helps the elderly and tortures them in every way. Li Qiugui pushed the old man down for a while, tripped at his feet for a while, stabbed the old man in the waist for a while, and scratched his back for a while. The old man felt very uncomfortable, but because he was drunk and tired, he had to bear it silently.

The old man finally came home, fell into bed in a daze and slept all night. After waking up the next morning, the old man scolded his son and said, "As your father, do I not love you enough?" Do you have any questions? I was drunk yesterday. Why on earth did you torture me like that on the way home? "

The son was shocked, but his father blamed him for not doing so. So I felt very wronged, knelt on the ground and cried, saying, "Where did this come from? I really didn't do it. I went to the east of the city to ask for debts yesterday. How can I torture you on the road? If you don't believe me, ask your family. If you don't believe me, ask the borrower. "

When the family saw this situation, they all testified one after another. They showed the old man the iou they received, and the old man believed it. But the old man was still confused. After careful thinking, he finally realized, "Oh! I see, the ghost on Li Qiushan must be playing tricks on me. I've heard such a thing before. I'm going to town for a drink tomorrow. If he comes again, I'll kill him. "

The next day, the old man prepared a sword for his waist and went to the pub in the city to drink. He came home drunk, and his son was worried that his father would meet Li Qiu's ghost again because of what happened the day before, so he hurried to pick him up halfway.

When the old man saw his son come up to help him, he thought it was Li Qiu's ghost who made trouble. While he was unprepared, he drew his sword and stabbed his son to death. This clever old man named Li Qiu was confused by the illusion of the cunning Li Qiu ghost and killed his own son by mistake.

Philosophy of life: We must make a detailed investigation on seemingly very similar things. If you are careless, you will make an irreparable mistake.

Strange hip flask in Lu temple

Confucius took his disciples to visit the ancestral temple in Lu Huangong and found a grotesque hip flask on the table.

Confucius asked the temple, "What kind of wine is this?" The temple owner replied, "This is a hip flask. The king put it on the right side of the seat as an inscription." "Ah, I know its purpose!" Confucius turned to his disciples and said, "Bring clear water quickly and pour it into this hip flask."

Disciple scooped up a large ladle of clear water and slowly poured it into the hip flask. Everyone watched with bated breath. Only a little water was injected, and the pot body began to tilt; Then the water reached the waist of the kettle, and the kettle stood upright again; Keep pouring. Just as the water reached the spout, the hip flask fell to the ground with a bang. Everyone looked up at Confucius inexplicably.

Confucius clapped his hands and sighed, "Yes, no one is perfect!"

Lutz asked, "Teacher, can you tell me if this hip flask is empty, it will tilt, if it is medium, it will be positive, if it is full, will it repeat?"

"Of course!" Confucius said to everyone: "the truth of being a man is as smart and knowledgeable as this hip flask, and you should see your stupid and ignorant side;" If you succeed, you must know how to be modest and polite; Courage and courage should be regarded as cowardice; If you are rich and powerful, you must pay attention to thrift. It is often said that it is this truth to be impartial and learn from each other. "

Philosophy of life: Everything has a definite "degree"-the boundary, scale and temperature of things. It reflects the unified relationship between matter and quantity. Quantitative change does not change the nature of things within a certain limit, but beyond a certain limit, it will cause qualitative change and go to the opposite side.

Make a comprehensive judgment on sth. Based on a one-sided view

During the Warring States Period, there was a king in the State of Song who ordered his ministers to bring a white elephant, let eight blind people touch it with their hands, and then let them tell what the elephant looked like.

After too many cooks touched it carefully for a while, eight blind people scrambled for the report. The blind man who touched the elephant's teeth said that the elephant was shaped like a long radish root; The blind man who touched the elephant's ear said that the elephant is like a dustpan; The blind man who touched the elephant's head said it was like a big stone; The blind man who caught the elephant's nose said that the elephant was just a wooden pestle; The blind man holding the elephant's foot cried and said that the elephant is obviously a stone mortar of rice; The blind man touching his back said it was a bed; The blind man who touched his stomach said that it looked like a big water tank.

The last blind man said, "Haha, none of you are right!" " I saw him pulling the elephant's tail and saying, "I tell you, the elephant is thin and long, just like a rope!" " "

Philosophy of life: people can only see or touch some surfaces or parts of things in perceptual knowledge. To understand things comprehensively and profoundly, only on the basis of perceptual knowledge can we be promoted to the height of rational knowledge.

Golden millet dream-a short grand dream/delusion

Once upon a time, there was a young man named Lu. I usually love dancing and writing, but I have failed repeatedly. People call him Lu Sheng. Lu Sheng's family is poor, but he always yearns for wealth.

Once, he passed through Handan and stayed in an inn. There lived an old man named Lu in the inn. Lu Sheng saw that the old man was kind-hearted and had an extraordinary talk, so he started talking with him. During the conversation, Lu Sheng lamented his poverty situation many times, always showing his unwillingness to be lonely and yearning for wealth.

Knowing Lu Sheng's wish, the old man surnamed Lu took out a beautifully embroidered pillow from his pocket and said, "This young man surnamed Lu, if you sleep on this pillow, you will get the prosperity you yearn for."

Lu Sheng listened with a grain of salt. At this time, he saw the shopkeeper cooking yellow rice, so he thought, "Anyway, it's still early for dinner, so I might as well try." Liu Sheng lay down, and as soon as his head touched the pillow, he immediately began to dream.

In a short time, he dreamed that he married a noble and beautiful lady in Qinghe, Cui Fu, and then lived a luxurious life. Cui fufu is rich and powerful. With Cui Fu's position and reputation in the city, he began to study hard and was admitted to Jinshi the next year.

Then the emperor summoned him and appointed him. Later, he was promoted step by step. With his relationship in the DPRK and the emperor's trust in him, he not only became a government official such as "our time" and "ancient Jinshi", but also became a prime minister for ten years. Later, due to his outstanding achievements and contributions to the country, he was named "Duke of Zhao" by the emperor.

He dreamed that he had five sons, all of whom became officials and married to noble families. He also dreamed that he had more than a dozen grandchildren, all of whom were brilliant. Officials, large and small, associate with him, compliment him and praise him. He feels very proud. He has piles of gold and silver and countless treasures, and leads a dissolute life all day. He lived for a long time until he was over eighty.

Just as he was immersed in a rich and luxurious life, he suddenly felt that the pillow had been removed, so he immediately woke up from his dream and opened his eyes. The pot of yellow rice cooked by the shopkeeper is not ripe yet. He was very surprised that decades of prosperity turned out to be a short pillow.

Seeing that Lu Sheng was disillusioned, the old man surnamed Lu put the pillow in his pocket and said with a smile, "Young man, please remember that the splendor of life is a dream."

Philosophy of life: wealth and splendor are all false, but plain is true. Prosperity is just a dream, not to be envied.

consistent

A group of Confucian scholars got together and talked about the philosophy of "everything is one", thinking that everything in the world can be one.

An ignorant and pedantic Old Master Q suddenly came in and asked, "If people meet a big tiger, how can they blend in with it?"

"What a stupid question," another Confucian interrupted him. "I tell you, an enlightened person has the ability to turn a dragon into a tiger. Isn't riding on the back of a tiger integrated? "

Everyone listened and nodded. Zhou Haimen, a neighbor, said with a smile, "There are still two bodies riding on the back of a tiger. You have to be eaten by a tiger to call one."

Philosophy of life: the unity of the world is the unity of infinite diversity of matter, and "the unity of all things" does not exist at all.

50% honor and disgrace day and night

During the Zhou Dynasty, there was a rich man named Yin. His family had a great career and was enslaved by his family. He was restless from morning till night.

There was an old servant who worked in the Yin family for decades. He is exhausted, but Yin's family has been seriously enslaving him, making him do heavy work and often being beaten and scolded. He hummed to work during the day, dragged his tired body at night, lay down and fell asleep. He was in a trance, dreaming that he would become a king every night, standing above the people, taking charge of national politics, feasting in the farewell palace, satisfying his own desires at will, and being extremely happy. But every time he wakes up, he is still a slave, engaged in hard work, but never feels bitter and tired.

Someone asked him if he worked hard, and he said, "People live a hundred years, half of which is day and night. I am a slave during the day, and hard work is hard work, but I am extremely happy to be king at night. What can I resent? "

The rich man surnamed Yin painstakingly manages world affairs. He always wants to accumulate his property. He is physically and mentally exhausted and falls asleep every night. Every night, he dreams of being a slave to others, working hard and doing all kinds of hard work. He is often scolded and beaten, and he has tasted all kinds of insults. He groaned in his dream, talked in his sleep, begged for mercy, and didn't get rid of it until dawn, and went to work hard on his family business.

The rich man surnamed Yin is very worried about this. Afraid that he wouldn't last long, he went to his friends for a solution.

His friends told him about the pain in his dream and said to him, "Your position is very high, which can make you extremely glorious, your family business is very large, and you have more money than you can use, far exceeding others." At night, it is not surprising to dream that you are a slave. Because ease and hard work are cyclical and mutually transformed, which is also a kind of natural common sense. How can you want to be rich and happy both during sleep and during the day? "

After listening to a friend's advice, the rich man surnamed Yin suddenly realized that it was very reasonable. These words are like a cure, so he relaxed the labor requirements for slaves, stopped being so mean and vicious, and reduced his mind. Over time, because the psychological pressure is reduced, the pain in the dream is gradually alleviated.

Philosophy of life: "The sun is in the middle, and the moon is gone when it is round." No matter how much you go too far, it will turn in the opposite direction.

Trees are not human.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, when Wei Wenhou was in power, there was a man named Zizhi who was punished for being an official and committing a crime. He was never allowed to set foot in Wei.

Therefore, he had to leave Wei to make a living in the north and moved to Zhao.

He went to see Zhao Jianzi and said, "I understand. From now on, I will never be kind to others. "

Jane said, "Why?"

Confucius said, "I trained and promoted half of the taxis and ladies in the halls of Wei, half of the court doctors and half of the border guards." Who would have expected that taxis in the palace now speak ill of me in front of the monarch, doctors in the imperial court threaten me with laws, and border guards stop me with weapons. I am already disheartened, so I am no longer virtuous to others. "

Zhao Jianzi said, "alas! What you said is wrong. For example, peaches and plums are planted in spring, and they can enjoy the cool in summer and eat their fruits in autumn. But if you plant tribulus in spring, you can't pick its leaves in summer, and you can only get its thorns in autumn. From this perspective, what kind of fruit to plant depends on what kind of tree to plant. Now you are wrong to train and promote people. Therefore, the gentleman should choose the object in advance and then cultivate and improve. "

Philosophy of life: "No pains, no gains." We should be cautious in cultivating and promoting talents, just like planting trees, choose first and then plant them.

(of an unknown person) achieved amazing results at the first attempt.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu Jun of Chu, that is, Chu Zhuangwang, did nothing in handling state affairs for three years in order to observe the dynamics of the ruling and opposition parties and let other countries relax their vigilance against him. All officials in the DPRK are worried about the future of Chu.

Chu Zhuangwang ignores government affairs. He either goes out to hunt and play in the palace every day, or drinks with concubines in the harem for fun, and no one is allowed to give advice. He ordered the whole country: "Whoever dares to give an idea will be sentenced to death!"

The official position of Chu in charge of military and political affairs is Uji Ma. At that time, there was a man who was an official in Uchijima. Seeing that the hegemony of the world powers was very unfavorable to Chu, he wanted to persuade Chu Zhuangwang to give up his absurd life and strive to make Chu a vassal overlord after Qi Huangong and Jin Wengong. But he didn't dare to violate Chu Zhuangwang's ban and directly remonstrate; He racked his brains, but didn't come up with a way to wake Chu Zhuangwang.

One day, he saw Chu Zhuangwang and his concubines playing a guessing game, and Chu Zhuangwang had a good time. He had a brainwave and decided to hint at Chu Zhuangwang with riddles in the joy of the game.

The next day in court, Chu Zhuangwang remained silent, and Yuji Island accompanied him. Just as King Zhuang was about to announce his retirement from the DPRK, he gave Chu Zhuangwang a riddle: "I saw a bird when I was in the south. It landed on a mound in the south. For three years, it didn't spread its wings, didn't fly, didn't sing and was silent. What's its name? "

Knowing that Uji Island is hinting at himself, Chu Zhuangwang said: "If you don't spread your wings for three years, you are growing wings; Not flying, not singing, is to observe people's attitude. Although it doesn't fly, once it flies, it can fly very high; Although it can't sing, once it can, it must be amazing. I know what you mean. "

Chu Zhuangwang felt that ministers urgently needed Qiang Bing, a rich country, and it was time to rectify the platform and revive Regal. Half a month later, Chu Zhuangwang went to court to personally handle government affairs, abolished ten criminal laws that were not conducive to the development of Chu, and set up nine things that were conducive to the development of Chu, so that five ministers who embezzled and perverted the law were killed and six talented scholars were used as officials to participate in politics, thus governing Chu well.

The domestic political situation improved, so he sent troops to crusade against Qi and defeated Qi in Xuzhou. He also sent troops to crusade against the State of Jin, and fought with the Jin army in He Yong, and the Chu army won.

Finally, a meeting of vassal states was held in Song State, so Chu replaced Qi State and Jin State and became the overlord of the vassal states in the world.

Philosophy of life: You don't have to talk big to show your skills, but those who are usually taciturn and silly can make amazing moves at critical moments.

Yeast and Xue Ying

During the Jin Dynasty, there was a poor scholar named Che Yin, whose family was very poor and could not afford lamp oil. He catches fireflies and puts them in gauze bags for lighting when studying in the evening. There is also a man named Sun Kang, who often stands in the snow in winter and uses the reflection of snow to read.

As a result, the reputation of these two people for their hard work has been praised everywhere, and everyone regards Sachifili and Xue Ying as role models.

One day, Sun Kang went to visit Che Yin, just as Che Yin was away.

Sun Kang asked his family, "Where did the master go?"

The family replied, "I went to the river to catch fireflies."

A few days later, Che Yin visited Sun Kang and saw Sun Kang standing in the yard with his hands behind his back. Che Yin asked, "Why don't you study?"

Sun Kang looked up at the sky and said, "I don't think it will snow today."

Philosophy of life: unity of name and reality. But some people, after making some achievements, get carried away in front of fame and become vain, which is what people often say: "It is really difficult to be a vice president under fame."

Steal gold

Once upon a time, there was a man in the state of Qi. Because he was poor since he was a child, he always wanted to get a piece of gold.

Getting up early one morning, he couldn't resist his desire, dressed neatly and ran to the market. He saw a gold shop, so he went in, reached for a piece of gold and ran back.

When the owner of the shop saw him in broad daylight with many people watching, he dared to reach for the gold and shouted. There were so many people in the shop that he took it effortlessly.

The shopkeeper caught him and asked him, "How dare you steal gold in front of so many people?" You have a lot of courage. "

The man replied, "when I took the gold, I only saw the gold, no one!" " "

Philosophy of life: the mind is full of extreme individualism, and the problem is always one-sided, because a person's way of thinking is inseparable from his position and viewpoint.

Trivial things obscure someone's views on important things.

There was a man in the state of Chu. His family was poor and he lived a poor life. His wife and concubines advised him to study and gain fame, but he was too tired to study. His wife and concubine advised him to work in the fields, and the harvest after autumn could also be used to make money, but he was afraid of hard work and didn't work hard, lying in bed all day thinking that he could make a windfall.

One day, when he was free, he picked up a book called Huai Nan Zi and read it. It is said to be a magic book, which can make people live forever. He turned it over and turned to a passage in the book: mantis catches cicada, and leaves cover it all. If people get that leaf, they can use it to hide their bodies, and no one can see you.

These short words moved him very much. He thought: If I can really find this leaf, then I can steal money and no one else can find me. At that time, I can make a fortune.

So he dropped his book and ran to the Woods to look up, trying to find an invisible mantis leaf. After searching for a long time, he finally found a big mantis hiding behind a leaf and raised his arms to pounce on the cicada. He quickly climbed up the branch and reached for the leaf. However, due to panic, the leaves fell to the ground. There was a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground, so he couldn't tell them apart, so he simply swept all the leaves on the ground home and packed several buckets.

After returning home, he did experiments piece by piece. He held up a leaf to cover his eyes and asked his wife, "Can you see me?"

The wife was busy weaving and turned back and said, "I can see." What are you doing? His wife was puzzled by his strange behavior.

"Mind your own business," he asked after changing a leaf. "Can you still see me?"

"Visible."

From noon to sunset, the Chu people kept picking leaves and asking their wives. Finally, my wife was really tired and had to answer casually: "I can't see it."

Therefore, the Chu people believe that they really found the invisible leaves of mantis. They were very happy and quickly went straight to the market with leaves. The market is full of traffic, very lively, and all kinds of goods are available. He held a leaf in one hand to block his eyes, and the other hand picked something in the shop and grabbed it with his hand. Before his hand could be taken back, others shouted angrily and rushed to him and sent him to the county government.

Philosophy of life: if people's eyes are covered by small things in front of them, they can't see the whole situation, and they can't see the whole.

An Zhi Yule

Zhuangzi was a famous thinker and politician in the Warring States Period. One day, Zhuangzi and Hui Shi went out for a walk, and they walked on a bridge. Zhuangzi looked into the water and saw the fish swimming freely in the water. He said, "Look, how happy the fish are swimming in the water!"

Hui Shi replied, "Strange, you are not a fish. How do you know that fish is happy? "

Zhuangzi asked, "You are not me. How do you know that I don't know the happiness of fish? "

Hui Shi replied, "I'm not you. I don't know how you feel, but you are not a fish. How do you know if a fish is happy? "

Zhuangzi smiled and explained, "Let's talk about the truth in detail. Just now you asked me how I know the happiness of fish, so you already know that I know the happiness of fish. As for why you know? That's because I went to Liaoshui Bridge and saw the fish swimming around in the water, so I thought the fish were very happy. "

Philosophy of life: human understanding can correctly reflect objective things. There are some things in the world that have not been recognized for the time being, but there has never been anything that cannot be recognized.
